> We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. Millions of people are in places where acknowledging that they want abortions[1] or miscarried[2] can pique the state's interest, along with people who are trans[3] or have trans kids[4]. We have police using web searches to prosecute women for abortion[1], we have states compiling lists of transgender indiv…
That is what Tor is for. If all you need is protection from authorities, Tor is enough. Freenet is content-focused, designed so that not even the original uploader can ever remove popular content. Tor protects people and speech from the police. Freenet protects files from everybody.
I was under the impression that law enforcement has established a large number of Tor exit nodes, allowing them to unravel the onion (so to speak).
Re: Freenet build 1495: new user experience and performance
#83Freenet is well designed and well maintained, but it is a solution looking for a problem. We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. At the moment, freenet has a bad reputation for hosting very illegal content. That rep is so bad that if authorities ever look into your internet traffic, freenet connections are more than enough to get warrants that will…

> If mere internet traffic will "rip your life apart" - that is a police state in my book.
Exactly. Anyone who thinks the US is not a police state has not been paying close enough attention, because the standard for getting a warrant is much lower than this. Moreover, cops will exaggerate the circumstances to get questionable warrants, and being served will absolutely ruin your day if not your life.

>We dont yet life in the police state where everyone's political opinions need to be hidden in dark networks. Try being a communist in America. You will get fired and your life ruined for your political opinions.
It's been a few decades since McCarthy's house unamerican activities committee was a thing. These days you get people openly saying that capitalism is evil and major politicians insisting that ubi is the only way forward.
Apparently, McCarthy was correct to be afraid of the Red Scare.

We don't have to experience everything personally, because we have written an oral histories. I assure you, I have a pretty good idea.
Written and oral histories are fallible
Communism is far more fallible, base on the history of failed communist states.

Naturally not every political opinion, and it depends on how you express it, but still. > At the moment, freenet has a bad reputation for hosting very illegal content. Why is that a bad reputation? Isn't that part of the point? ... Perhaps you mean unsavory, or immora…
I said illegal and meant exactly that. Morality and societal norms are debates for twitter and facebook. Tor/freenet/i2p are at another level of seriousness. Freenet has a rep for child abuse imagery.
That “think of the children” argument is so tired and played out.

some of the biggest promoters of UBI are the same folks who run VC firms though, so I don't see that.

If this is the level of argumentation, so are personal experiences. Perhaps even more so.

Hey, try to be a social-nationalist anywhere, you'll probably even get jailed for your political opinions.
No, do not try to be a nazi. It's a horrible political philosophy.
Well, that was more like a rhetorical hypothesis. But I won't try to be a communist either.
